Description

☆ ROOT is REQUIRED for automatic synchronization ☆

ClockSync synchronizes device system clock with atomic time from Internet via NTP (Network Time Protocol).Useful if provider doesn't support NITZ, sends incorrect time or if your device/ROM has heavy clock drift.

There are 2 modes: automatic for root users and assisted manual mode for users without root (rootless mode).

Rootless mode features:- automatic atomic time retrieval with configurable interval- notification when offset exceeds user set threshold- assisted manual synchronization with the hint what time/date to set- precision between 1 and 30 seconds (because Android doesn't allow to set seconds)- 1 second precision if your device resets seconds on Set (most Samsung and some HTC devices)- Greenwich Time Signal assisted sync if device resets seconds

Other features:- customizable NTP/SNTP server and timeout- displays current date or time since last sync- NTP server details dialog- 3 color schemes (dark, light, default)- 12-hour or 24-hour clock format- time zone detection and adjustment based on geo location- system time zone override with custom offset- time zone management based on latest Olson tz database (zoneinfo)- optional haptic feedback and sync notification- clean and easy to use interface (tap screen values or use menu)

Don't want or can't root your device? You can still use ClockSync as your precise time source to adjust your watch or other clocks, or to verify how accurate your cell time is, or set time manually in rootless mode.

Move to SD is disabled because automatic synchronization (timers) will not work when app is moved, also app size is very small and since not all files are moved to SD in any case, it would not save you more than 50Kb.

If you get wrong time after synchronization, your phone time zone data is out of date, use http://bit.ly/tzupdate to fix it.

Issues, questions or suggestions? Please e-mail me, developers have no way to respond to Market comments.I reply to every e-mail within one day maximum (usually instantly).

Permissions explained for paranoid users:- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: used only for "Sync on boot" option - VIBRATE: optional haptic feedback on tap and sync- INTERNET: to get time from NTP servers, to get time zone from web services- WAKE_LOCK: to perform background synchronization without being killed in the middle by the OS- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: to sync only when network is available- ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION: to get best location for time zone from location feature when GPS is on- ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION: if GPS is off, network location is used- SET_TIME_ZONE: to automatically set time zone depending on location or for manual override- SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW: new permission since 1.1.5, used for transparent overlay in rootless mode to show countdown updated every second- ACCESS_SUPERUSER: for compatibility with SuperSU and Superuser applications, see http://bit.ly/su-permission

Great little app I don't really understand why my nexus 4 loses time or why android doesn't have some time syncing thing built in, but this little app cures the problem nicely. I'm using the non-rooted option and have no complaints about the process for syncing time. Well done.

Reliable It seems unfair for me to use this wonderful app, for free, with no nags or ads. You deserve a little something for your awesome efforts, how do I go about tipping you a beer?

On rooted nexus 5 cm12 code_blue Great app. Best if rooted. IM pedantic over time! CV good for setting my automatic clockwork Swiss watch by. Saved loads on phoning speaking clock! Its amazing how much phones drift and how inaccurate network times can be...

Excellent. Perfect little syncer with some sweet added functionality. Default NTP server was down so it would be nice if it checked that before defaulting to it, but changing it to one that's up resolved the problem. Now it's perfect. Scheduled sync and boot time sync is awesome!

Useful when your network time isn't reliable This app shows you the time, and your clock time, so you can see whether it is off. Then it assists you in setting it. I only have 1 difficulty. Without root, clock syncing noisey, and cannot be aborted once you enter the assisted sync mode short of actually syncing. You can't abort.

Could you please contact me by email so that I can investigate the problem? I may need logcat and more details about your setup. What SuperSU/Superuser version do you use? Did you permit the app to access root after update?

Optional donations may be added later, right now you can donate by PayPal to my email address. Thank you.

Nice presentation to set one's clock. Most phones use the phone network time, however, my Samsung Note 8 tablet doesn't have a network. It drives me crazy to have the time vary by more than a few seconds. This app solves my problem, very easy manual sync, without having to root my tablet.

Gets the job done! my phone wasn't displaying the correct time, I've tried everything and no avail, then it turns out that I don't have the option to manually change the time on my phone since its set on automatic update by default so gave this a shot and it worked! I highly recommend it!

Please check the FAQ, this error is usually a result of NTP being blocked by your Internet provider. The app can't do much about it right now, but I plan to add some fall back protocol to use instead of NTP when it's blocked.

Great app Solved the problem I was having with Twitter. Makes keeping the clock in sync very easy. The perfect quick and easy to use app.

Does what it needs to! This app does exactly what you think it does - syncs the time on your device to Internet time servers. It has options to do so at given intervals, and to do it automatically. Great for devices that (apparently) can't keep time well!

New bug in Lollipop... ? For some reason, every time I synchronize manually, the time drifts off by about half a second within just a few seconds. I assume this also happens after the automatic synchronizations, because it always seems to be off, whenever I check, by a noticeable (though, let's face it, not crucial) amount. Happy to bump this up to five stars when/if the problem is fixed.

Outstanding We are your future selves! It is very important for our AI servers to correctly synchronize with the various temporal dimensionalities in your continuum: what you refer to as Calabi-Yau spaces. As such, precise temporal relationships are critical to our adjusting your quantum superposition potentialities in order for "your" braneworld to continue to exist. When you master graviton delimiting, we'd love to hear from you.

MysteryHole I'm unusually anal (if you will) about the accuracy of my time pieces, and this app allows me to have a +/- 1 sec unrooted sleep with my Note 3. Now I hope I don't lose any sleep about rooting my phone. Nice job.

Healthcare worker During daylight savings time, I reset all my clocks with the exact time on the app. This works flawlessly all the time and a great tool to use every day. Thanks for providing such a very useful app.

Great time sync app. I use it to sync my watches and tablets also. I love it that even if you don't root your device, it will count down to tell you when to set your tablet manually. Be sure you go to your pull down setting to clear it after you set time.

Very Useful Has a ham radio operator, I rely on accurate times for both operating and for my log. It is very nice to have an application that will provide that accurate time that I need. This happy is very much appreciated!

Is time at your android device correct? Check it with atomic clock at GPS satellites or NTP by Smart Time Sync!

Features:- Check and sync device's clock with GPS or NTP(Internet),- Detect time zone by location,- Time signal,- Background time sync with NTP,- Background passive time sync with GPS. Passive means the app uses GPS only when another app uses it,- Very small memory footprint. In paid version even smaller - less 100Kb.

Automatic sync works only for rooted devices!

If the app doesn't work for you, please email me. I can't make the app better if you just leave a comment.Please, rate the app if you like it. Thanks!In free version background sync feature is time limited.

Time Calibrator has been specifically designed to deliver accurate time information to people all around the globe. The app connects automatically to the atomic clock server in Switzerland to display the exact local time and date. Through quantum technology, the information travels at the speed of light from the NTP server and is communicated directly to AtomTime i-Atomic watches via light signals.

Atomic Clock uses the internal GPS to extract Atomic Time: - your Android device needs to get a GPS fix for this app to work - please try it outdoors, or close to a window - Internet access is not required - use menu to toggle between 12/24 hour clocks

Accuracy: - the overall accuracy depends on your GPS chip and how it sends its message to Android - you can expect a typical accuracy of +/- 1 second

Different Android devices use different GPS chips, so: - these chips all create slightly different NMEA messages - we have tried to handle most cases - please let us know if you have issues with your device

Satellite Time Reader uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver in your device to get exact real time information directly from the satellites. It is similar to a radio controlled clock – allowing simple and fast offline checking of your device clock: No network access necessary! And it is so easy to use: Just open the app, wait for the GPS receiver to sync to the satellites and view perfect UTC/GMT time and date info (related to the time zone selected in the time settings of your device). You can then fix the system time manually if necessary.

This app uses advanced algorithms allowing much quicker access to the time data provided by the GPS circuit. What is incredible is that it can often show correct time and date while other apps still report 0 satellites in view! It has an automatic detection of the best available time and date raw info and uses dimmed text color as notification (warning) about unsettled outputs. Satellite Time Reader has a beautiful, retro-style user interface and will run on nearly any Google mobile/smart phone. Take it with you during you next holiday or while you are on a (sports) trip somewhere outdoors - you will love it!

Multilanguage support: English, German

This is the FREE version. The FULL version offers the following additional features and settings:a) No advertising banner!b) No permissions for internet access required!c) Setting the system time (transferring the GPS based local time to your system time). THIS FEATURE ONLY WORKS ON SOME DEVICES WITH ROOT ACCESS AND MIGHT NOT WORK ON YOUR DEVICE! This is a limitation of the Android operating system – there is absolutely NO app on the market which can set the system time of a non-rooted device! And: It is not possible to synchronize system time and GPS based local time perfectly. There will always be some deviation (usually less than a second).d) Keep screen on feature (avoid sleep mode while the app is active). Be aware that the GPS receiver draws a LOT of energy from your batteries!e) Additional color schemes (white on blue, white on dark grey) - and the standard LCD scheme

Some hints:1.) If the GPS time shows a wrong time, takes very long to receive, stops or does not appear at all, the GPS reception is not sufficient. This is not an issue related to the app!

2.) Using the GPS receiver consumes a lot of energy from your battery! It is not recommended to keep the app open for a longer time while it is on battery power only!

3.) If the local time is off by more than half an hour to the real local time then you have selected a wrong time zone in your device. Please correct the time zone FIRST and then the system / device time.

4.) Depending on your GPS hardware (!) this app offers instant (or at least ultra-quick) time info – much faster than traditional GPS monitor / tracking apps or maps based location / navigation apps! Note that this feature is known to work on Samsung Nexus S but cannot be guaranteed to work on your device. Reporting the status (fast or slow) on your device is highly appreciated (please send an email).

5.) You can tap on one of the three sections on your screen to get a short help about what is displayed in this section.

6.) Give it a try and test the free / lite version of this app. If you are satisfied after evaluation please consider buying the full / pro version (see details below).

The World Time can tell you the accurate time about any timezone of the world.Maybe you are in London,but you want to know what time it is now in Tokyo or Los Angeles. If you have world time, you can know time, even date about the area you wanted. It is very useful for the foreign businessmen or people in the foreign countries.features:1.Choose and add cities you wanted, if you want to know the time, date of any city.2.Have the function of searching for cities.3.If you want to add new city, you can click fork to cancel the other old.4.The clock is beautiful, display white in the day, deep blue in the night.

** This program changes system files, so there is a small chance of breaking your phone. **

** Android 4.3 and higher currently is not tested in full. **

** HTC Users, due to system file protection, S-OFF is required (can works with S-ON for new phones) **

TimeZone Fixer is a small program which updates Android timezone files to the latest version (see "What's new" section). It is useful if the time zone changed in your area, or Daylight Saving Time has been abandoned or adopted.

Backup and restoreOn the first run of this app a backup is made on your SD card. Don't remove it because a backup is only made during the first run (or at an update if you choose to remove it anyway) and no other backup is found on your SD card.

ROM updatesThe patch this app provides is located on your /system partition so every time you do update your ROM the patch is overwritten and you will have to redo the patch.Unless you are using a Cyanogenmod based ROM and your rom has addon.d support. In that case a script will be placed in the addon.d directory to preserve the patch. It can be disabled in the app's settings but is enabled by default.

Asus usersOn ASUS roms a typical file is present at /system/etc/gps, namely the gpsconfig.xml file. This app pathes that file as well, to be specific the PeriodicTimeOutSec parameter. Of course a backup is made of this file as well.

This application is only usable from ClockSync 1.1.6 and later, it has no launcher icon or any user interface. Don't install unless instructed to do so by ClockSync.

Based on Joda Time 2.0 library and Olson tz database this app provides up to date information on time zones, offsets and daylight time saving transition rules to ClockSync. It works as a service started on demand and queried by ClockSync.

Most Android devices have outdated 2010k version of this data used by the system. In some countries time zone offsets and daylight saving time to standard time transition rules have changed recently, it means that your phone may show incorrect time or switch to incorrect offset making you late for some important event. Russia, Belorussia and some other countries are suffering from the outdated zoneinfo on Android phones. This database is intended to solve the problem.

Since not all ClockSync users can benefit from it and because the size of the data is more than 2x times the size of ClockSync itself, I made it a separate application, keeping ClockSync distribution size small and making it possible to install the database on demand and to the SD card.

To use this database you need to enable "Offline database" option in ClockSync time zone settings and select your time zone from the suggested list of ~400 canonical time zone identifiers. When this option is enabled, ClockSync will set time zone according to the rules from the database instead of your system, it also includes transitions from daylight saving time to standard time and back if applicable for the selected time zone.

I plan to keep this database updated and synchronized with the upcoming Olson tz database releases, so that you can be sure that your device is always using up to date time zones.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to contact me by e-mail.

NOTE: may take 10-15 seconds till ClockSync recognizes that the database is installed.
